Abstract:
Essential tremor (ET) is one of the most common movement disorders, and its main clinical feature is action tremor at 4-12 Hz in both upper limbs. With the development and progress of disease, the cognition of ET has changed from benign, single-symptomatic and age-related disease to the disease with heterogeneity in etiology, pathology and clinical manifestation. At present, the etiology and pathogenesis of ET have not been fully defined. With the development of technology, magnetic resonance imaging has been widely used in the research of ET due to its advantages of high temporal and spatial resolution, multi-angle, multi-parameter imaging, and no ionizing radiation, and many new discoveries have been made in the neuropathophysiological mechanism. In this regard, this paper summarizes the latest progress of magnetic resonance imaging in ET, including structural magnetic resonance imaging, functional magnetic resonance imaging, etc., for the purpose of exploring the pathophysiology of ET and looking forward to clinical application prospects of magnetic resonance imaging.
